Description
This is a review of a decision by the court of appeals. Kolpin v. Pioneer Power & Light Co., 154 Wis. 2d 487, 453 N.W.2d 214 (Ct. App. 1990). The majority of the court of appeals (Gartzke, P.J., Dissenting) reversed a judgment in favor of Brad and Virginia Kolpin (Kolpins) against the Kolpins electric company, Pioneer Power & Light (Pioneer) for damages to their dairy herd caused by stray voltage. Id. at 501. A jury found in favor of the Kolpins on theories of negligence, strict liability and nuisance. The jury also found that the Kolpins knew, or with the exercise of reasonable care should have known, that Pioneers distribution system was a cause of damage to their dairy operation over six years prior to the time the Kolpins filed their complaint. The circuit court for Marquette county, the Honorable David C. Willis, presiding, ruled on motions after verdict that Pioneers negligence was "continuing," and therefore the Kolpins suit was not barred by the six year statute of limitations.
